In the Brooder
We started with 6 chicken eggs in the incubator, and due to some early quitters had 4 remaining on hatch day. We're on day 25 and still no pips. I candled them in a very humid bathroom and only 1 has minimal movement. I then placed the two non-moving eggs into a bowl of warm water to check for viability and saw no visible movement. I did eggtopsies on the eggs. The first egg, the chick was underdeveloped, with no blood and had not absorbed the yolk. The second egg had been shrink-wrapped and was fully developed with only a small attachment towards the pointy-end of the egg. My question is this:
Should I intervene with the one egg I have left?
It is barely moving, day 25, and 1 of my eggs from the hatch has already revealed shrink-wrapping.
I've done a lot of research for my first hatch, and feel there are some conflicting point-of-views, but I do not want to lose my last chicken baby.
Thank you in advance for your help!!!
